I been wondering about that for a longer while. Every time I want to flash something I'm getting paranoid while reading the threads.
Which custom rom [or roms] is the best one for now and why exactly?
Is gcam quality on custom roms better?
I personally want upgrade it with predator kernel, but which benefits the most from the modifications and which is the most reliable comparing to stock?

Hi Jagth. If you only have one phone that you depend on for daily use, my suggestion is to stay stock until you have a second phone to experiment with. However, if you have a second phone, I would suggest you read some reviews, then pick a ROM and a kernel you think you would like, and experiment and have some fun.
You can continue flashing ROMs and kernels until you find something you really like, and then maybe you could stick with it for a while before you go again. However, if you only have one phone, then stay stock, because custom ROMs can be very unpredictable. Good luck!

From my opinion,stock is the most stable rom available,however it is **** laggy.
Tried few roms myself,they exceeded the performance of stock by far,but, at least, in my experience,they lack in some other part.
So, my suggestion is to stick with stock,but some tweak is necessary,
1-root it and enable xrecovery
2-delete unnecessary apps such as Wise'F*****N'Pilot,chinese and japanese keyboard if you are neither,and whatever apps you render unnecessary.
3-Apply FPS uncap by zdzihu
you are done,you will notice huge smoothness in your phone without the need to flash rom,and if you would want to make it even easier to use apply this theme,link below,

Now you have fast,user-friendly and stable phone,good luck....
Hi all!
I recently got Nexus 4 and I'm getting back to the android scene now since my old Mytouch 4G days. I was an iphone user. So, Ive read lot of forums and did search up typical questions I have.
Firstly, is there a relatively good custom rom for availaboe for nexus 4 besides the Stock 4.2 that im using currently. Any opinions? I prefer better battery life, touch screen response, and overall smoothness, but dont want to compromise performance though. Also, is CWM more reliable custom recovery than TWRP?
Thanks!
Well first of all to get those "Custom Rom's" you need to Root (Jailbreak) your device.
Cyanogenmod 10.1 is pretty good for starters Rom wise. And before you do anything DO YOUR HOMEWORK! ... go on Youtube watch and learn how people Root, Flash Customs ROMS & Kernels (Overclocking, better Battery Life etc etc) before blindly doing anything.
What you are asking here is purely opinion. I prefer TWRP and others prefer CWM. I like Twrp because I can easily flash multiple files instead of flashing them all separately. Custom Rom I use is CyanogenMod. But again, that's all opinion. See, we have an AOSP device, so most roms will be very stable. Custom Roms are based on AOSP instead of Touchwiz or other skinned Android version. This means less hacking is required to get things working in custom roms. When a Samsung or HTC phone gets CyanogenMod or another AOSP based Rom, there are several hacks to get things working and even then, not everything works. You will find all Roms to be stable. I choose CM because they have great features, but don't go overboard. AOKP IMO is too much and most of it is useless to me. But, some people like having all the options AOKP brings.
I suggest trying things out! That's the best part of Android. Make a backup of your current setup in recovery and flash away! It's easy to restore what you had. It's nearly impossible to brick a Nexus and I recommend giving each Rom you try more than just an hour or two and really try it out. You made a great choice by getting a Nexus as your first Android after being away for a while. Take advantage of it!

says the guy who bricked his n4 ...i kid :lol:
Try sr1 ROM,,that thing runs the smoothest out of all the ROMs out there. Which is crazy, as anything you'll try will be rather fast due to how responsive this device is. Pair that with Franco kernel and you'll have pretty great battery life as well.

Haha lol, Thank you my new friend for the advise ! I am currently reading a thread here on XDA on manually rooting and stuff. I am learning C programming so this should help me in learning =)! I prefer XDA thread guides over Youtube videos, which honestly have and are bad, in my opinion. I want to know exactly why this and what this even the minor details. Thanks for your input !

Wonderful reply, thank you. I did use TWRP on my brothers Gnex, it did a soft brick, and had to revert to CWM when flashing CM on his phone, i dont know why it did. I did full wipe, and other wiping in recovery :S. For a noob like myself, I'm just afraid of bricking despite all the reading I do and know it well, in real world things do go wrong. As for Roms, I do understand what AOSP and AOKP mean, but don't know whats the difference in actual roms.
I won't have a lot of time with flashing roms my university opens soon, so I can give it a shot. CM 10.1 nightlies is a good start? Or Xylon? From my research, I leaning towards them and the MinCo + Franco.
Thank you for the warm welcome , I feel really happy and glad to be back to android again . This time there is no going back, I love penta band 3G phones and they only exist in android and windows. But, prefer android due to so much you can do now!
One last thing though, about the kernel, should I start with Franco one, or stick with stock for now?

Aright , thank you friend ! I will start with sr1 Rom then and see how things go from there .
You must read a lot before start tweaking, xda is the biggest encyclopedia of all.
I highly recommend Paranoid Android, it's just super awesome!
Hi
I rooted my N10 mainly for sixaxis. Now I want to flash a custom ROM for some change. I'm no developer or anything so which ROM you guys recommended for best user experience?
Cheers.

Official AOKP or CyanogenMod. Once you get a feel for either one then go for a custom version of said ROM. Both are pretty stable and bug free.

If going for CyanogenMod, I'd suggest also going for a "M" build (I think M2 is still the latest). I'd avoid nightly builds until your a bit more comfortable with different custom ROM's and stuff.
I'd start with CleanROM, which is basicially stock plus performance enhancements. Then, as you want to try more features, move on to AOKP.
I'd also recommend EOS ROM. Great ROM for features and stability.
One of the best things about android for most devices is the ability to flash custom roms and this device has a lot of options. Most popular roms will have most amount of posts. Make sure the Rom is for your device read the original post and follow install instructions and you should be ok... Be careful though... it can be addicting and will increase the amount of time reading posts on this site.
Personally I use task650's AOKP for the stability, battery life and customizable options

The replies you already received are all very good. I would like to add one more suggestion. Use your a recovery program either CWM or TWRP to perform a nandroid backup of you current working device is a MUST. If you run into problems you can also restore it and instantly return to a working state. That technic can also allow you to try/save/restore a number of ROMs.
When you find the one you want to use as your daily driver just delete the redeundant nandroid backups. A word of caution is that you should always leave one stable nandroid backup on your device "just-in-case" things go bad.
Be aware that if you switch recovery programs (e.g. CWM to TWRP) your backups under the previous recovery program may no longer work. So after you switch, make a new nandoid backup. I believe the recovery developers are working on resolving this limitation but I would take a new backup to be sure.
I got fed up enough from roms, and I don't want the message delay in the JWR builds in stock...
So my question is what is your opinion of the best builds?

best rom threads are not allowed on xda. you have to try out the different builds and decide what is best for you. every device will react differently, and every user has different needs, therefore there is no such thing as a best rom.

There are a tonnnn of JSS roms, why don't you flash a few until you find one you like? Start with page 1 of Original Android Development...
Which is the best rom for OnePlus 6T?
Stock
There is no best ROM, the most adapted is stock as on screen fingerprint drivers are not available for Dev community. That put apart you can try and keep the one that suits you
I've tried several custom ROMs and I always come back to stock. It's stable, without bugs and with a good kernel (I'm using RZ) as snappy as custom ROMs.
Custom ROMs have additional , pretty neat features tbh but OOS is good as it is.
The A/B partition stuff doesn't make flashing as simple as it used to be so if you want to try custom ROM make sure to have a backup and MSMtool on hand ? you are definitely gonna need it.
Stock or Beta 3

Go for OnePlus 6T with 128GB ROM/8 GB RAM. It works very smoothly, and you can save more photos and delete less. You can still have more than 100 HD movies along with 1000s of photos.

That's only almost double the price of the phone.

Tried installing multiple roms. The pixel experience rom looks good and smooth but still stock feels better than custom rom. Will try installing a custom kernel on stock rom.
Sometimes after installing the oos on A/B partition, all the folder names get changed. Any solution that issue?
